In a New York Times report published on Wednesday, musician Ryan is accused of being ‘manipulative, obsessive and controlling’.

It’s claimed the singer/songwriter was ’emotionally abusive’ in relationships and made ‘sexual advances’ while offering to help the careers of his accusers, ‘severing ties’ with them if he was rejected.

Adams denies the accusations made against him and insisted they are ‘exaggerated, misrepresented and outright false’ in a statement shared via Twitter.

Mandy came forward and accused her ex of being ‘psychologically abusive’ during their marriage and claimed that he had impacted on her career by persuading her not to work with other producers.

‘His controlling behaviour essentially did block my ability to make new connections in the industry during a very pivotal and potentially lucrative time – my entire mid-to-late 20s,’ she told the publication.

Her last album Amanda Leigh was released in 2009, three months after her wedding to Ryan. She never released another album.

Mandy’s friends threw their support behind her on social media, with Minka Kelly taking to Twitter: ‘I am so proud of the graceful, class act that you are, @TheMandyMoore.

‘You are stronger and braver than most. What a joy it has been to watch you soar these past three years. You’ve only just begun.’

Her A Walk to Remember costar Shane West commented: ‘Warmest hug EVER to the strongest woman I know.’

Sophia Bush added: ‘I see you. I hear you. I know it hurts and I thank you for doing it anyway. We’ve all got your back, sister.’

Her husband Taylor Goldsmith, a musician with the band Dawes, simply wrote: ‘I love you.’
